There is at least one bigger backports repository. And I'm not using Adrians backports. But that's both not the point. > If he's saying they aren't suitable for production systems, you > should take his word for it. Unfortunately Adrian didn't wrote why he thinks backports aren't usable for production systems. The only real problem with backports I see is that there are no guaranted security updates. This could be a reason for someone to not using backports. For me it's not, I'm using my own backports. -- - nobse
